--------------------------------------------------------------------------

• OG Kris Dielman (San Diego): After starting no games his first two seasons, Dielman moved into the Chargers' lineup in 2005, in part because of injuries, and was a revelation. He has quickly developed into a terrific in-line blocker, a guy who can maul defenders, and his protection skills have improved, too. A blue-collar, self-made player, the kind of guy who won't allow money to alter his work ethic.


• OG Eric Steinbach (Cincinnati): He's been a starter at left guard since his 2003 rookie season, and is a tough, durable blocker. Steinbach has missed only one game in three-plus seasons. Strong as an in-line presence, he's also a better athlete than some people think, and is an excellent technician. There are a few teams that suspect he might be able to play tackle. They'd be wise to go back and survey the video of the times he's moved outside, because they'll quickly realize it's a flawed notion. Steinbach is a guard, plain and simple, and a very good one. Cincinnati wants to retain him, but has paid out handsomely this year to sign fellow linemen Levi Jones, Willie Anderson and Bobbie Williams to extensions, and feels Steinbach will have a huge price tag it can't afford on top of those deals.

Exactly the reason we need to keep him.

Did OT Starks get an extension in Pittsburgh? I would much rather have him than LD.

He's a RFA. Very cost prohibitive in terms of the draft picks. Probably.

Starks has really gone down in his level of play. I have been a big supporter of him on this board buthe has been unimpressive this season. I would not be surprised to see him replaced by Colon in the next 1-2 years. There is no way that I would give up a first or a first and third to get him.

BTW a very good FA O-Lineman is Derrick Dockery from Washington, he is about as good as Steinbach and would come at a lesser price.

never good when a colon replaces you.

Denver's starting RG, Cooper Carlisle will also be a UFA. Doubt he's re-signed, they'll move last year's 5th round pick, Chris Kuper into the starting lineup.
